This book is the first to examine understandings and experiences of fatness in early modern Europe (c. 1450\u20131700), uncovering attitudes towards fat bodies across England, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain through interdisciplinary analysis.\nReaders will gain a comprehensive understanding of how early modern Europeans perceived and experienced fat bodies through historically specific contexts rather than modern assumptions. The book delivers this through interdisciplinary scholarship combining history, art history, and literary studies to analyse sources across five major European regions. This approach reveals both continuities and contradictions in attitudes towards corpulence, examining medical, artistic, and literary perspectives within their proper historical frameworks.
